I agree, it really is so much better than XML.

I liked it until i had to do fixed length allocations with it (fixed number of elements) in my IoT stuff. Now I kind of find it a pain.

I discovered the simpleton's beauty in it a year or two ago.
The need to get multiple pieces of data back from AJAX. It can do much more but I like to imagine it was designed and built for this purpose - where only one string comes back. No more worries with parsers where where, no matter what delimiter I choose some jackass user decided they must have it in their input. Even '|' had its sanctity violated. (I gave up and sanitize all user input). JSON gets rid of that for me in the name of "going forward".
One oddity in my use: I typically build the JSON stings from my own code but do convert them back with the ubiquitous version of it that exist it most languages (that I care about).
One thing - you'll likely do your own research: SQL Server actually allows a JSON type - a type that can be searched with with SQL WHERE clauses. So I asked my fearless leader, a particularly good DBA, what he thought of it. Apparently, as he sees it, the overhead involved will be horrific in terms of performance.

The only thing I've noticed, is that there are more JSON questions in Q&A than XML.
My last web service dealt with USPS, FedEx and UPS: all XML; sending and receiving.
I serialize and deserialize my app settings: XML
Post performances at the race track: XML
etc.
My main complaint with XML, a little more verbose; i.e. no shortcut ending tag. But since it's all generated from class definitions, the only drawback is in my head.

But ... but ... who will feed the hamsters, and change their bedding?

For CP staff locked in the building, more like "the hamsters will be fed with whom?"OriginalGriff wrote: and change their bedding
The hamsters won't eat the clothing, obviously, so that will serve as bedding.

Only some of them are Killer Attack Hamsters - the rest are standard Robo Hamsters[^] which don't eat much meat.

I'm a serious fan. I've read the Foreigner series several times (all 20-odd books), and I have to ration myself to reading the Chanur saga every three years or so.
I keep looking for a 'come together' series of novels...

My first cat (well, MY first cat, not the family cat) was named Pyanfar Chanur. 
I don't remember how many of the Foreigner series I read. I was buying them as they came out, then stopped for quite a while.
I was going to go out and get the ebooks of the whole series...then saw how many there were.

They are worthwhile. Unlike many series that go on for more than 3 or 4 books, Cherryh has managed to keep Foreigner interesting, plus she's not telling the same story over and over again.

Well, technically I suppose it's vegan ... in that you consume your own cells every day anyway, and no animals have been harmed in the manufacture.
Pretty sure it's a case of "just because you can do something, doesn't mean you should" though.

One advantage is that you won't have to go outside in this frightful weather to buy some meat

They should put "It's not technically cannibalism" in big letters across the kits like "I can't believe it's not butter"
